Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0652547A2] A mechanism 28 for adjusting the tension in a rod 30 in the neck 21 of a stringed instrument 30 such as a guitar comprises a first member 12 attached to one end 31 of the rod 30 and a second member 11 attached to the body of the instrument. The distance between the first and second members can be adjusted to vary the tension in the rod by means of cam members, comprising chamfered blocks 14 and 15 which co-operate with the first member 12. When the cam members 14,15 are brought together by tightening a screw 16, the first and second members are forced apart. This increases the tension the rod 30 and thus varies the degree of bending of the neck 21. The invention also extends to an instrument comprising such an adjusting mechanism. <IMAGE>
